How to make automation consider 'This Week' as Monday - Sunday instead of Sun-Sat?

BG October 5, 2023

I have a board in which I automatically move cards to this week based on due date. Rule I have is

every day, move each card due this week to list "This Week"

The problem is Trello automation butler defines this week as Sat-Sun but I want it to be Mon-Sun. I already tried changing language setting from English (US) to English (UK) but same problem. Can anyone help me with a solution if any?

Hi BG, 

Welcome to the Atlassian Community! 

Hmm, that's weird. I've just tested this in my account, and if I set the condition "card due this week", it counts cards both on Saturday and Sunday, but not Monday (which is indeed the next week). Also, if I update the rule to "move each card due next week", the cards due on Sunday don't get affected. 

Could you please try updating your Location at https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/profile-and-visibility to your current time zone? 

You can then schedule a test run of the rule by specifying the date and time (for example, "every Monday at 16:00") to see if the rule works. 

Otherwise, you might try adding a different condition to the rule: 

every day, move each card due in less than 7 days to list "This Week"

Hope this helps!

I tried but does not work. My timezone is already set as Americas/NewYork. I created a card due on Sunday at 10 pm and ran the rule "move each card due this week" but the card does not move to right list.

Can you test with "English (US)" language  and "Americas/NewYork" timezone. I read that for "English (US)" language, the week is treated as Sunday to Saturday.

Hey, 

I've just updated my time zone to "America/New York" and I've already had the language set to "English (US)." My results in testing Automation remain unchanged. Both cards with due dates this Saturday and Sunday were moved into a designated list, while the cards due on Monday remain untouched. 

This makes me think the issue might be with the trigger in your rules. Do the cards due on Saturday move to that list "This Week"? 

If all cards are moved except the ones due on Sunday, could I ask you to create a ticket through https://trello.com/contact? This gives us access to a few more tools to help investigate, and we can discuss information that can't be shared in the community.
